I think it's time the captaincy gets taken away from Steven and handed to Pepe. Reason is because the guy is very injury prone off late and I don't see him being a regular when he does eventually come back. The team needs a new identity so we need to move on.Pepe is involved in 99% of our games and is passionate about this team, so he's the logical choice for captain. Carrager is also not a regular anymore so I personally think the vice-captaincy also needs to be given to someone else ie Lucas, agger or Kuyt? What do you guys think?
i was thinking about this the other day, it probably should but I dont see it happening till at least the end of the season.
Give it to Lucas over Reina. you need someone to lead from the thick of the action. Lucas is Gerrards natrual successor
Hmmm I'm not sure I'd give it to Lucas actually I just think he needs a couple more seasons being left to concentrate on his game without added distraction. Personally I think Gerrards still the natural choice...however if he doesn't play much for the rest of the season I'd go with Reina or Agger (again depending on fitness).
Lucas is too young for full captaincy at this stage. The lads just started playing well, to now give him the burden of being the captain will be too much for him at this stage. Let him perform like this for a couple of years and only then can he be considered for full captaincy until then vice captain it is. Maybe captain in 3 years not now.
What I love about this is that I remember a couple of years back someone suggesting Lucas as a future captain on 606 & they were ran out of town lol. Shows how far he has come! I'd leave it until the end of the year. See how things go.
